Ingredient list for vegan spaghetti carbonara 🍝

The ingredients you need are:

• 200 gram spaghetti
• 150 gram smoked tofu
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 2 tablespoons yeast flakes
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 120 ml vegetable milk
• 2 tablespoons flour
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped parsley for garnish

How to make vegan carbonara sauce 🚀

Similar to other vegan "cheese sauces," we use yeast flakes for deep savory notes and plant milk and flour for creamy texture. We also add some smoked tofu to create the bacon-like flavor and texture. The preparation of the sauce is simple and fast. Here are the exact steps:

Step 1: Preparation of the smoking tofu 🍗

Cut the smoked tofu into small cubes and fry in a little oil until crispy. Do not be too sparing with the oil, as this will make the tofu nice and crispy.😁

Step 2: Making the carbonara sauce ★

In a bowl, mix the yeast flakes, soy sauce, vegetable milk and flour. Stir everything well until the flour is completely dissolved. Then, using the same pan in which you prepared the tofu, add the sauce mixture and simmer for a few minutes until it starts to thicken. This sauce will make your spaghetti perfectly creamy. 😘

Step 3: Assemble the ingredients ✅

Once the spaghetti is cooked, transfer it directly from the pot to the pan with the sauce. Mix everything well so that the spaghetti is well covered with the sauce. Then add the crispy tofu, add a generous dash of salt and pepper, and stir again. Already your vegan spaghetti carbonara ready to serve! 🥳
